The youngster’s father told the judge he was worried she would then be ostracised by family and friends.

The judge acknowledged that proceedings started at the family court after the girl’s mother left her husband and moved away, after becoming disillusioned and frustrated by the restrictions placed on her.

It had previously been ruled the girl should stay with her father and spend time with her mother.

However her father then complained about the way she lived when staying with her mum.

The court heard he had hired a private investigator to follow his estranged wife and found she had driven with the girl on the Sabbath, and “dressed inappropriately” when picking her up for school.

The girl’s father was told by the judge that the youngster did not need to stop going to the gymnastics classes but she would no longer eat meat with her mother

She said she was mindful of the fears the girl’s father had about her becoming distanced from her Jewish community.
